Traveling through ancient times, I led my family to prosperity

"Xiao Lan entered the study room and stayed there for quite a while. I am really worried about you, Master Liu. You must not be soft-hearted... If you let her go, and she leaks something, it will be very disadvantageous to you..." Cai Yi said while secretly observing the expression on Shen Liu's face. Seeing that Shen Liu had no expression on his face, she continued to speak boldly, "Master Liu, even if you deal with Xiao Lan, there will still be troubles. I heard that their family can live like this now because of you, Master Liu. Now, Master Liu... their family has nothing to complain about."

From what Caiyi said, she felt that silencing Xiaolan was not enough, and she even wanted to drag the entire Sheng family into this and destroy them.

The coldness on Shen Liu's face grew even more intense, and he looked at Caiyi with a playful look. "Caiyi, did you know anyone from the Sheng family before? Do you have a grudge against the Sheng family or Xiaolan?"

"No, Sixth Master, I have been serving you in the mansion since I was a child, and have never left the mansion alone. How could I know such a farm family? Xiao Lan and I... have no grudge against each other. I do this for Sixth Master's good, and for Sixth Master's sake..." Caiyi said hurriedly.

"Did you deliberately bring her to the study room for my sake?" Shen Liu sneered, "Since you know that the study room is an important place, didn't you think about what would happen if she really peeked at something and spread the news?"

Caiyi heard Shen Liu ask her this and felt that she finally saw a glimmer of hope, so she crawled forward on her knees to explain to Shen Liu, "She...she is a country girl, how could she run away? Even if the people around Master Liu are a little careless, I will send people to keep an eye on her, and will definitely not let her escape, and will never let her leak a single word..."

Shen Liu glanced at Caiyi calmly. He was in a high position and had many subordinates. When he managed his subordinates, as long as they were absolutely loyal to him, he would choose to ignore them even if they used some tricks. But this time, Caiyi went a little too far!

"Are you admitting that what Xiao Lan said is true? This was a trap you set on purpose to trick her into going to the study?" Shen Liu suddenly asked.

Caiyi was stunned for a moment, staring at Shen Liu blankly. Just now she thought Shen Liu would not pursue the matter, why did Shen Liu say this now? For a moment, she was a little at a loss, because she was not the worm in Shen Liu's stomach, and she didn't know what Shen Liu was planning.

"Caiyi, let me ask you, you said that you didn't know the Sheng family before, and you had no grudges against Xiaolan in the past or today, then why do you insist on killing her so much, and even don't let her family members go?" Shen Liu asked, staring at Caiyi.

"I..." Caiyi just said one word and then paused.

"What? You still don't want to tell me?" Shen Liu asked with a smile.

Caiyi's face turned red immediately.

It wasn't that she didn't want to tell Shen Liu about her feelings. She wanted Shen Liu to know that she liked him, and she even arrogantly thought that Shen Liu already knew her feelings... But feelings can only be felt, not expressed in words...

Now that Shen Liu asked her the question in person, Caiyi not only blushed, but also felt confused.

"If you don't say anything, I won't make it difficult for you. Considering that you have served me for so long, I will let you off this time..." At this time, the smile on Shen Liu's face disappeared. He sat up straight in the chair, then waved his hand outside, "Come here, take Caiyi away!"

Caiyi became a little anxious when she saw someone coming in. She asked hurriedly, "Sixth Master, what are you going to do with me?"

"You are not young anymore. Let the manager take you to the farm and find a family for you." Shen Liu said.

"No!" Caiyi didn't know where she got the strength from to break free from the old woman who was pulling her, and then knelt down and crawled in front of Shen Liu, "Sixth Master, please don't, Sixth Master... Please don't send me away, don't send me away..." Caiyi said with tears in her eyes, begging bitterly, "Sixth Master, I know I was wrong this time. I am willing to accept the punishment, but I only beg you not to send me away. I want to stay with you and serve you all my life..." Caiyi cried and wanted to hug Shen Liu's thighs, but after she looked up at Shen Liu's eyes, she gave up the idea.

"Then why did you do this? Are you willing to tell me now?" Shen Liu asked again.

Caiyi's face flushed red. She clenched her teeth and decided to take a gamble. After all, Shen Liu would keep her because of her years of service, her mother, and her infatuation... Besides, if this layer of window paper was broken, maybe... maybe...

She raised her head shyly and glanced at Shen Liu, her eyes filled with admiration without any concealment.

After Shen Liu heard Cai Yi's shy confession, his expression did not change. Instead, he asked, "Does this have anything to do with you wanting to harm Xiao Lan?" Shen Liu asked.

"Sixth Master, I am not rude, but I have no right to interfere in your affairs." After all, she was a girl. Caiyi had just risked her own face by confessing her feelings. At this moment, she was too embarrassed to raise her head, so she could not see Shen Liu's expression.

Shen Liu snorted coldly and said nothing.

Caiyi had long considered herself as the inevitable candidate to share a room with Shen Liu. When she was talking about Master Liu, she was naturally not referring to other things, but the matter of having a new person in Shen Liu's room.

"But..." Caiyi was about to continue speaking when she heard Shen Liu shouting to stop.

Caiyi raised her head in surprise.

Shen Liu had already waved his hand and sent out the servants in the room and the few maids who had just come in. After everyone left the room quietly, Shen Liu said to Cai Yi, "Go on..."

Caiyi bravely looked up at Shen Liu again, and tears began to fall down. Her confession just now was very shameless, and she said it in front of everyone. But now, she had just said a few words and Shen Liu dismissed everyone in the room.

Shen Liu should have guessed it. Sure enough, sure enough...
